“I’m sure we can have a reasonable conversation about this, Crowley.”

“Yyyeahno,” voiced Crowley from somewhere around Aziraphale’s midriff, “n’t talking. Y’r getting n’thing fr’m me.”

_“Crowley.”_

“Hnggg,” Crowley said, one yellow eye peering up, “’s embarrassing.”

“I hardly think your desires are embarrassing, dearest. I know it is difficult for you to discuss these matters, but I promise you I won’t be put off by anything you suggest.”

“ _Aaannngeeellll._ Just drop it. _It doesn’t matter.”_

Aziraphale’s lips downturned, and his face grew pinched, “It _does_ matter.”

“You won’t like it.”

“Frankly, I don’t think I could hate anything you propose.”

“Oh really? Think if I started acting a bit _differently_ in regards to _Roman showers_ you wouldn’t have a problem with it?”

Aziraphale couldn’t help but wince, “Well—”

“See?”

“But you don’t want that. Not really. You just used a particularly disgusting example to sidetrack this entire conversation—”

“Yes, do keep up—”

Aziraphale huffed, “I don’t want to push beyond your limits, I simply want you to be comfortable telling me these things. I love you, and I don’t believe I could ever be repulsed by something you _truly_ desire.”

Crowley’s ears warmed, “Ghgn. Fine.”

“Thank you.” Aziraphale beamed, tucking a ringlet of hair behind the demon’s ear, content to let Crowley find his words before attempting to speak. Patience was a virtue, after all.

“Alright.” Crowley swallowed, suddenly extremely interested in Aziraphale’s third-to-last button, “Sso, you know our _true forms?_ ”

“Yes. Haven’t inhabited mine in some time, I confess.”

Crowley gave a faint nod, which was mostly for his own emotional support, “I think we sshould have sex. Like that. _Fuck me_ , I sshould say. Don’t think it will burn too much,” he added with a derisive snort, “ _death by angelic pounding._ What a way to go.”

Aziraphale stilled, chest no longer rising or falling in gentle waves along with his heartbeat. It was as if his very existence had been paused, well, all except for one thing. Which was currently poking into Crowley’s stomach.

The silence must’ve only lasted for ten whole seconds, but for the demon, it seemed as if it was an eternity. Steadily pinkening, Crowley whispered a tentative, “Angel?”

“How could you ever think I would be disgusted by _that?”_ Aziraphale asked, dumbfounded, “I don’t think I’ve heard anything more arousing in my entire existence.”

Now Crowley was the one that was dumbstruck, “ _Really?_ ”

Aziraphale nodded, throat dry, “I confess I’m dizzy with it. I don’t think I have _risen to the occasion_ quite so fast before either.”

Crowley gulped, trousers in a similar state, “So that’s a yes?”

“My dear, I don’t think the answer could be anything other than a resounding _yes._ ”

* * *

They made their way up the bookshop’s ancient, rickety stairs, almost discorporating themselves in their frenzied state —Crowley’s knees gave out on the sixth step because _someone_ decided it was a grand idea to lick into his mouth and slide their hands down his back, grabbing a handful of his ass for better leverage.

“When _—ah—_ when should we transform?” Aziraphale groaned as Crowley moved his mouth down to nip at angel’s neck, pawing at his waistcoat in an attempt to unbutton it.

“I— _fuck angel_ —I think we should get on with it before I _explode.”_

“What’s the harm in more than once?” Aziraphale said absently as his hands roamed over Crowley’s body, one slipping underneath Crowley’s shirt to play with his chest while the other cupped his cock through his jeans. The demon would deny ever making the high-pitched _mewl_ that crawled up his throat without his express approval.

 _“I’d prefer not to come in my pants like a damned teenager,”_ Crowley bit out, voice breaking as Aziraphale continued to rub his cock through his trousers. Aziraphale, forever the bastard, took it upon himself to twist Crowley’s nipple as he bit down on his neck, effectively shutting down all hope of the demon ever gaining any higher brain functions back. It was _unfair_. Crowley had barely got his waistcoat undone and Aziraphale was making an utter mess out of him.

“ _Aziraphale!_ ” Crowley moaned, hand gripping the aforementioned angel’s wrists hard enough to bruise, effectively stopping his onslaught.

_Fuck, he was already leaking through his briefs at some heavy petting. If he hadn’t thoroughly pissed off downstairs, he would have asked for a less sensitive corporation. Was it always going to feel like this with Aziraphale?_

_“Very well.”_ Aziraphale panted, using a considerable amount of willpower to pull back from the writhing demon. _Temptation incarnate, more like._

They both took a couple moments to collect themselves, which was a feat that Crowley thought earned himself a bloody commendation. Or at least more kissing.

“Are you sure my divinity wouldn’t harm you in such a state?” Aziraphale asked, breath catching the sensitive underside of Crowley’s throat, making him shiver.

“No more than my occulty-ness could.”

Aziraphale snorted in a way that would have broken the tension had Crowley not been so utterly _besotted_ with the blessed being. It was cute, damn him.

“Point is, our essences, spirits, souls—whatever you wanna call them, have already touched. The switch, ‘member? We’ll be _fine,_ angel. Now I’d _like_ to skip to the part where I’m getting thoroughly buggered, if you don’t mind.”

Aziraphale’s lips lifted up in an exasperated grin, but his eyes were dark; pools of black surrounded thinly by the warm, seaglass hue of his iris. He was _breathtaking._ It would be an understatement to say that the demon’s heart skittered in his chest — it _quaked._ He didn’t think it possible to be just that bit more in love, but here he was.

“As you wish.”

And with one last lingering kiss, the angel stepped back.

The change was a slow one; a warm, yellow-white glow bathed the entire room with an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility (which Crowley’s inner demon bristled at, but what did he know, the other parts of him were too busy imploding at the sight of the wonderful creature before him). Reality felt centered on this exact point—the head of a pin, a crumbling edge of a precipice—because to Crowley, nothing existed other than this. The four-poster bed, the crammed, teetering shelves that held some of the most prized tomes in all of creation—were wreathed in the same light. Weightless, utter suspension. Nothing seemed to _be_ , anymore, other than them.

It felt like heaven by mankind’s description. Waves of serenity poured out of Aziraphale, who now was a picture of pure radiance. Crowley could hardly stand to look directly at him, but he couldn’t stop himself. _Something to be revered. Something to be worshipped._

He probably looked like an idiot, standing there with his mouth open and eyes wide, shirt half unbuttoned and lips red from kissing. Just balking at this incredible being _who loved him._

The bright, white light in the direct center of the room began to become more solid, with vague outlines of various appendages (and a flaming wheel or three) continuously morphing as if Aziraphale couldn’t quite contain himself. The bedroom was gone entirely, phased out by Aziraphale’s pure, unadulterated divinity. They were in the space between worlds, where the laws and bounds of earth were simply _suggestions_ rather than fact.

The mass eventually settled on the edge of humanoid; blazing eyes melded to the several sets of wings affixed to his celestial body. His expression was obscured—Crowley could only see glimpses of the kind, corporeal face framed by the cherubim animals, although they seemed to be more intangible than anything. They too were reduced to mere outlines, blinded by Aziraphale’s halo and protected by his multi-pupiled gaze, wings spread wide in a stretch six-thousand years in the making. He did, however, have a traditional set of limbs, all of which reflected absolute power.

And as he let his eyes trail further down Aziraphale’s body, his breath hitched, eyes growing impossibly wider.

_Holy fuck. Literally._

Aziraphale, to put it lightly, was _massive._ His cock stood long and proud, the thick length jutting outwards towards him intimidatingly, and Crowley was not the slightest bit ashamed to feel his mouth begin to water. Well, maybe a little. But he did ask for it.

_Split me in two._

_**“Oh.”**_ A harmonious voice called out, somehow breaking his eardrums and being the most comforting sound he’s ever heard.

“ _Angel._ ”

 **“It seems it’s proportional,”** Aziraphale said, Crowley not so much _seeing_ the smirk on the angel’s lips but rather feeling the _concept_ of it, which would surely melt his brain (along with other things) if he didn’t transform soon, **“but I take it that you enjoy that?”**

“Enjoy that?! _Enjoy that?_ ” Crowley spluttered, “if you don’t get in me within the next _minute_ I think I might have to divorce you _._ Or whatever the hell the equivalent is.”

He felt Aziraphale laugh, a pulse of energy around the room underlined with blatant arousal, which was more than enough incentive to _get on with the damn thing already._

There was no ethereal burst of light, no celestial harmonies, nothing spectacular or radiant about Crowley’s transformation. It was just as it was in Eden, only partway. Scales began to appear on his skin, dotting the pale expanse like sequins; dark and iridescent. His lower half lengthened, tapering off to a point, leaving seemingly miles and miles of lithe serpent. His curly, red tresses were even more beautiful than they were in Eden, because on closer look, they were actually _pythons._

_**“My love, you are simply breathtaking.”** _

Crowley had assumed, naively, that spindly reptiles such as himself couldn’t blush as red as the color of their underbelly, but time and time again he was proven wrong.

“Not too bad yourself. You’re only the embodiment of ethereal love.”

**“I daresay my love for you is much more personal and altogether selfish than divine love implies.”**

“Ghng.” Crowley eloquently voiced. “Enough with the ssap. Let’ss just get on with it.”

**“I don’t intend to just ‘get on with it’ dearest, I intend to _Know_ you.”**

That _did_ things to Crowley. Being Known, in its most base, raw form, being taken apart and put back together until every piece of him was _Aziraphale’s,_ flayed open and utterly vulnerable to _everything,_ whether it be pain, pleasure, or the intoxicating mix of both. He craved it, coveted it, _needed_ it right the fuck now.

The angel stepped forward, cupping Crowley’s face with his large palm, the heat of it grounding. Aziraphale had always ran warm, something Crowley’s inner snake exploited to the fullest, but this felt _searing._ In a way that made Crowley’s spine turn into mush.

“How ‘m I supposed to kiss you through a bunch of bloody wings ‘n eyes?”

**“I believe the phrase is _watch and learn.”_**

Crowley saw the barest glimpse of Aziraphale’s smirk behind his plumage before it was on him, consuming him for all he was worth. If it had felt searing before, this felt _liquifying._ Everywhere Aziraphale touched had him gasping, completely boneless and _so, so warm._ His tail had sprung a mind of its own, wrapping around one of the angel’s solid legs in an attempt to pull him impossibly closer. He _needed_ Aziraphale. Yesterday. Tomorrow. _Now._ Time had never felt so displaced, murky and without consequence.

He was set aflame, roving hands and lips taking him apart with such urgency he felt as if he wouldn’t make it out alive. He tried to give as good as he got; plastering himself against the angel while he snuck a hand down to encircle his erection, which, notably, didn’t fit in his full grasp. _Fuck me_ , was his brain’s contribution to the matter, which he wholeheartedly agreed with. It was like a brand; he could feel the raw energy thrumming just beneath the white-hot skin, scorching him. He gave a few steady, full-strokes to set the rhythm—and then swiped his thumb over the fat head, smearing the little pearl of pure-gold essence across it, which made Aziraphale’s wings quiver.

The angel then played dirty, moving his hands up to resume playing with his chest in the way he _knew_ would make Crowley’s toes curl, or rather, tail. He moaned as Aziraphale’s nails dragged over the sensitive buds, and he felt himself spasm as the angel started pinching and rubbing them into stiff little peaks.

Crowley made his grip tighter, pumping faster and letting his thumb catch on the underside of the head, which he knew drove him wild.

Aziraphale groaned into his mouth, powerful hips beginning to make little aborted thrusts into Crowley’s palm, and _Satan_ did he want that to be his mouth right about now. _He wanted to take it all. Sloppy, gagging for it. He wanted Aziraphale to make him **beg** for more, he wanted to feel the pathetic pleases drop from his own mouth in submission._

This time Crowley was the one to break off the kiss. And with a breathy, heady voice, sounded,

“ _Now._ ”

Aziraphale pulled back, but just barely. Enough for Crowley to be able to make out the distinct shape of his head and a little of his chest, but nothing more. He felt the angel move his left hand up to cup Crowley’s face in such a tender gesture that he could’ve melted. He didn’t, however, because in his opinion he was already the maximum amount of mush and goo a demon could be (save for maybe Moghtor, but that was kind of his whole thing, jellyfish and all).

Aziraphale then slid his right hand down, tracing the soft, vulnerable underbelly and the scales that lined it. The ethereal glow of his fingertips reflected off the shiny, dark patches and radiated such _warmth_ that Crowley couldn’t help but arch into it. His tail squeezed tighter around the angel’s leg in an instinct so primal it pre-dates Eden. _Mine._

He saw a flash of blue, multi-pupiled eye flick down as he parted further, and not a second later, a large, hot hand traced his cloacal scale.

“You’re _dripping._ ” The angel observed, lust and a considerable amount of awe tinging his voice. Crowley did not, in fact, have to bite his lip to cover up a needy whimper, because it escaped him without so much as a by-your-leave.

“Well, not to boost your considerable ego or anything, but what else was I supposed to do? Shrivel up?” Crowley breathed as Aziraphale thumbed his entrance, exposing a sliver of shiny, pearlescent pink.

Aziraphale looked ravenous. Crowley felt pinned under his gaze, molten and wanting so badly it was humiliating.

 _“In, in, in.”_ He moaned as Aziraphale teased him, fingers barely breaching his vent. Crowley grasped at his shoulders, trying to force him in. Aziraphale didn’t budge.

“Hm. But you are so beautiful like this, dearest. So needy. You were positively bashful earlier, pretending you didn’t _need this._ ”

“’M not _bloody basshful—ah,”_ he hissed, breaking off with a high-pitched whine as the angel finally entered him. He clenched down on the thick fingers inside him, savoring his stretched rim. He almost doubled over when Aziraphale went deeper, bumping up against his hemipenes. Crowley grabbed his arm in surprise.

“I’m sorry darling, did that hurt?” Aziraphale asked, stopping immediately, concerned.

“N-No jusst, _fuck._ Forgot that came with the whole…package.”

With Aziraphale’s fingers out of the way (which elicited a sad whine from the demon), he coaxed them out. Bright red and straining, covered in his own slick, dribbling bits of precum down the length of them. Crowley was rapidly turning fuchsia, staring at how utterly _lewd_ he looked. Cunt open and drenching, cocks bare and standing at full attention.

“ _Lord._ ” Was Aziraphale’s response, his own cock an iron-hot brand against the demon’s side. The latter of whom, felt it twitch.

“Don’t bring Her into this,” Crowley panted, choking on a moan as Aziraphale encircled his cocks with one large palm, giving the handful a couple strokes before Crowley was even able to _think_ about saying, “ _please, now._ ”

“Certainly, my dear.”

Crowley let out a hysteric little whine, because of _course_ Aziraphale would say some bloody thing like he was taking an order of tea at the shop down the road. The most British angel ever conceived.

Aziraphale, the tease, did it slowly, just as before. The bastard reveled in getting Crowley to beg for it, needy, desperate, and wanting long before he fucked into him. A bead of pre-cum caught on the edge of Crowley’s entrance, smearing across the blood-red scales as Aziraphale lined himself up. Crowley felt himself grow wetter, biting back a moan.

The pythons, which had since been hissing in tandem with his writhing, stopped for one, heart-stopping second. Time narrowed down to this, _and only this._ Lead to a precipice, dangled over the edge.

 _“Ready?”_ Aziraphale whispered, the tip of his cock breaching the demon, but just barely. Crowley felt his cunt clench down on _nothing,_ greedy at the hint of Aziraphale filling him completely. He wanted to buck up, to fuck himself on Aziraphale’s cock, to make the angel put him in his place for not having enough patience, to let Aziraphale fuck him even harder to drive the point home.

Instead, he nodded quite vigorously, clawing at the angel’s back to get him to _move. Hard, fast, and **now.**_

Aziraphale then _finally—_ with a steady, unwavering breath— sunk into Crowley in one long, firm motion. It took everything short of a miracle to keep from coming. He felt so full, Aziraphale was so _fucking big_ inside of him, he could barely think. He must’ve said as much, because the angel gave an aborted jerk, lighting up the entirety of Crowley’s insides in the process.

_“Fuck, angel.”_

The steady push and pull of the first few thrusts made Crowley dig his claws further into the broad back of said angel, who in turn gripped Crowley’s waist hard enough to bruise had he been human. Which he thankfully wasn’t, because he would have had to do some rearranging of some pretty vital organs had he not been a snake.

_And wasn’t that a thought._

“More,” he groaned, “c’mon, c’n take it, been waiting for it—”

“We’ve barely even started and you already want more, greedy thing. I have half a mind to take you as slow as I could bear.”

Crowley whimpered, doubling down, “Pleasse angel, please use me, c’n take it, like I _ssaid—_ ”

Aziraphale started mouthing at his neck, smothering the expanse in little bites as he sped up, stroking the demon’s cocks in a spine-melting combination that left Crowley utterly speechless.

_**“My love, I think you are going to have to be happy with taking whatever I choose to give.”** _

Crowley normally wasn’t reduced to monosyllables this early on —he was easy, sure, but not _that_ easy—but he thinks he can chalk that up to having the best (and only) semi-metaphysical sex of his entire existence. Aziraphale was always skilled at taking him apart to the point where he couldn’t _walk_ , but never like this. He couldn’t think, he could only react, the most primordial instincts taking over, wanting to be taken and claimed so completely that it was a wonder he could beg at all.

They were suddenly prone (this wasn’t an uncommon occurrence, as they tended to lose relation to any sort of scientific law in the heat of the moment, which is why Crowley can never look at his ceiling the same, ever again), with Aziraphale driving into him harder now; the new angle allowing him to take the angel impossibly deeper into himself, making his vision white out as Aziraphale hit his sweet spot, whispering about how good it felt to be inside him, how he took him so well.

He probably sounded like a fucked-out whore, unable to do more than squirm, whimper, and sob on Aziraphale’s cock, tail more than halfway up the angel’s thigh, constricting him tighter and tighter with each motion. He’s sure his voice is gone, breaking in the middle and frayed around the edges as he called out the angel’s name in unequivocal supplication. There was also quite a lot of hissing involved, from both Crowley and the moving tresses that framed his face, but he’s too far gone to be self-conscious about something as trivial as that.

 **“You were made for this, _made for me_ ,”** Aziraphale moaned as Crowley tightened around him, **“ _my own._ ”**

_“Yoursss.”_

The air seemed to be charged around them, pure, unfiltered divinity becoming more and more out of control. He should have been terrified and maybe, just maybe, a little part of him was. Which, luckily, in Crowley’s brain, translated directly to a quite overwhelming amount of arousal (a lot of wires that _probably_ shouldn’t be crossed, were, in fact, exactly that).

_Smite me. Take me. Fill me. Claim me._

Deliriously, the demon turned to Aziraphale partway, his serpentine spine not daring to complain as he arched back into him. Crowley took in the sight above him, his glorious angel losing himself to urges that were entirely human (some would call it debased, but make no mistake, it was pure love), his aura stained a gold that was both soft and electrifying, with sparks dancing along the lines of his form.

“ _Yes, yes, ‘ngel, please,_ ” Crowley whimpered, _“’xactly like that.”_

He couldn’t draw his eyes away from where they were joined; Aziraphale, both _literally_ and figuratively, lighting him up on the inside. It was obscene, the way he could see and _feel_ , the thick, glowing outline of his cock fucking him _completely_ _senseless,_ the angel’s broad frame shaking with the effort of containing himself.

 _ **“You undo me,”** _Aziraphale spoke, gravelly and low, the celestial cadence of his voice amplifying it, **“ _if you could only know what the sight of you like this does to me. I could spend eons here, joined as we are, and never tire._ ”**

He sounded as ruined as Crowley felt, though the latter could barely articulate it. Monosyllables and nonsensical babbling was more of his lane, since usually the moment Aziraphale starts to take daring little nips down the line of his neck he’s a goner. Now the angel was bracketed around him, utterly destroying his cunt, the heat of him nearly overwhelming. He could feel him pick up speed, the vulgar, filthy noises only making him find the edge faster.

“ _Fuck,_ _’ziraphale,_ ” Crowley mewled, pupils blown and eyes wet with unshed tears, “ _’M gonna come.”_

_**“Then let go, my love. Come for me.”** _

And with those words, the demon shattered, untouched. His cocks made a mess of his belly, the streaks of white coating him and the ground beneath, his cunt clenching around Aziraphale in steady waves — a veritable orchestra, with the finale ending in Crowley’s unreserved, broken moan, coming so hard he wasn’t sure of his bloody _existence —_ his coils cinching up along the bottom-half of Aziraphale’s body, the pressure more than enough to break bone had he been human.

He was only peripherally aware of Aziraphale still inside him, the rhythm of his thrust erratic and tinged with an all too familiar immoderation, his climax close enough to taste, the divinity of which surely would have burnt him alive.

 _“Fill me,_ _please ‘ngel, need you._ ”

 **“ _Crowley!_ ” **Aziraphale shouted, hips stuttering as he came, the warm radiance of him blinding them both for a heart-stopping second before the hazy edge of finishing took them, wholly sated.

It took a moment for them to be able to think, both of them finding their higher brain functions to be temporarily offline, the only sound in the comforting pseudo-space being their breathing and the beat of their decorative hearts.

“Who-ee,” said Crowley.

Aziraphale snorted, “High praise, my dear.”

“Can’t exactly be art-artic-good at words when you effectively fucked them outta me. Can’t believe we haven’t done the whole metaphysical shebang before.”

“I agree, that was positively _transcendent._ Though it must be uncomfortable for you now, should I—”

“Don’t wanna be apart from you,” Crowley muttered, still enjoying the ache of being _filled_ , not wanting Aziraphale to slip out and miracle the mess away. He knew the sticky aftermath should’ve grossed him out, but instead it was just Hot. He would never admit to it, but the feeling of the angel’s come still being inside him, maybe even dripping out just enough to show he was utterly full of it…..but that was a fantasy for another day.

“Very well. I could always use a plug to keep my spend in you, it is actually a part of a snake’s repro—”

“Alright, alright, no, we aren’t going down that rabbit hole.”

“I do believe you mean a ‘cloaca’ in this particular instance.”

“Oh my god, shut up. We aren’t doing this,” Crowley groaned, but failing to hide his stupid besotted smirk, “you’re the worssst.”

“My love, I’m certain you were saying—or should I say screaming—only moments ago about how I—”

Crowley kissed him. And if that ended up devolving into having a couple of more rounds, well, that was no one’s business but their own.
